Becoming the Iron Lion

I ran tren at 500 a week once, maybe for 6 weeks before I had to tap out, looked great but the sides were just too much to handle

Yeah, I might get some heartburn from tren but that's about it and even that is rare.

I just found that I don't need the higher doses of that and other "supplementary" AAS. High test is so needed though

Push went well.

Left delt is getting better each day. Still some weakness and instability there but overall better then last session.

Kept control the focus.

Yesterday was pull.

Seems like the extra rest day is doing the job. It's hard to explain but, I just don't FEEL as strong as what's translated into reality though.

Overall numbers are improving where I expect them too and form is static but, I just don't FEEL it. First lift of each session isn't stellar then the others are fine. It's this way within a heavy top set as well, feels heavy as fuck and then my backoff improves. Never had this experience before but I guess bodyweight coming down is playing a part and, It really goes to show how important food is.

Onward and upward regardless.

Tomorrow is check in with the coach (myself) and I'll see where I'm at. I expect a slight increase in weight from my low that came the day after the sushi last week.

Woke up at 245.9 this morning so up .2 lb. Not as much as I would have liked to see.

Changes are happening fast right now so I'm not gonna fuck with anything. I'll keep riding out the current plan and just refeed as needed until I either need to add food or take food away. Pretty simple.

Training from the last couple days.

Sessions have been moving in the right direction again and Strength is starting to get better.

A combo of the extra rest day along with the anabolics I'm sure.

I'll give a good update here tomorrow.

Update time!

Things are rolling really well.

Diet hasn't changed in the last few weeks, just adding a sushi meal when weight dips too much which is starting to become less common.

The HEAL product I have been using from Muscle Gelz has been a big help. My left knee which gives me issues all the time is improved as well as the left delt that got fucked up at some point and killed my pressing.

Strength is improving from the anabolics as well as the extra rest day I've added.

Feeling very good in the gym, extreme focus lately and just going to places mentally that I need to go to keep the strength there.

Today was leg day. I pulled a set from leg press, dropped back a plate on my top set and put my knees to my chest. I always use a good ROM but today it was dramatic just to see what happens. Went well as long as my lower back and hips don't get compromised so I'll try this again with a wide stance on my other leg day. With a close foot placement I don't have problems usually, but wide though, my right hip/Glute get pain.

Off today.

Looks like I'll be pulling some extra shifts at work. Ran into a little situation that will require me to bring home some extra money for a while but, I'll handle it. 70 hour weeks were already rough so 84+ hours will really limit my time. I'll find a way as always though.

Body is feeling good today. Did yard stuff and laundry. Cleaned up the house and went to get groceries. Got a new pair of work boots finally, old ones were in really bad shape and got my oil changed.

Wife got the mother in law from "the home" and then immediately got a call from her Dr saying she needed to go to the er with high tropinin levels so, they're at the hospital. She seems fine so hopefully it's nothing.

Had bought filets to cook for dinner but I'm trying to wait for them to get back before I start those.

Tomorrow is push day.

247.7 this morning, up 2 lb from last week.

Loose skin is getting worse which means we're rolling ladies and gentleman.

Fucking killer pull day today. Cut back on the number of sets per exercise and added in a couple for the volume dip. I also removed intensity techniques and went for straight sets on almost everything.

This let me go heavier on most things just didn't get the same volume per exercise.

I don't have a pic of my log book but it was

Hammer rows with a neutral grip 2 working sets
Freemotion single arm Pulldown 2 working sets
Seated single arm cable row for upper back 2 working sets
Chest supported t bar row for upper back 1 working set 1 cluster set
Rack pull 1 working set

Cable curl ss DB palm up curl. I did 6 reps on cable curls then immediately to 5 reps on palm up curls. Increase weight from 30lb on cable curls by 5 lbs until I failed to get 6 reps, DB curl was 25lbs the entire time. I run I worked up to 80lbs so 10 rounds

Cable dual handle curl 4 working sets

Uh, I guess I just like it a lot lol.

I work 6pm-6am, it was 5-6 days a week but now it's 6-7 for a while. I get home around 630,sleep by 7/730, wake up at noon, eat, train at 1 then get home pack food shower and do it all over again.

It's a lot, especially since I'm never going to be good enough to make money at this bodybuilding thing but, it's one thing I am really passionate about so there's always a way.

Ty bud. Starting to see things come together a bit.

It's a really slow process for me to see improvements with all the not so great skin so, until like 5 weeks out I look pretty much the same in updates.

Just gotta keep working.

Off today. Lots of sleep since I'll be non stop work from here on out this week. I do have a week of vacation next week luckily though. Taking the kids to a big lake and they are all bringing a friend so, 10 of us total.

This would usually be our Florida trip but we wanted to do something different this year.

I'll take next week off training and just start doing some cardio and keeping diet in line.

Last couple sessions.

Going well over here. Strength is doing well and I'm still hardening up with weight holding and even up a tiny bit. All the injectables have been money with no pip. Very very happy with the iron lion line.

This week I'll be on vacation at the lake and then back to work after that. No training, just a little cardio to see the scenery.

How’s the diet on vacation? Keep protein high and try to enjoy as much as possible with the kiddos ?

It doesn't change. Just my regular non training day meals and maybe a smore if my weight drops to much lol.

If weight plummets, I'll have home made burgers and a smore

Vacation is going good. Got a rough sunburn on my legs yesterday though in just thirty minutes. Damn Irish genetics.

Food is as planned, missed a couple meals but decided to say fuck it and just eat when I can. I preach this on vacation and even though I'm in "prep" I haven't picked a day yet so it's fine.

Home and back to the gym today.

You know we start back with legs

Knee was feeling great so I pushed it a bit. Kept tempo in the snail pace we have been using but pushed up the weights.

Subbed in hack for squat machine and I used wraps instead of my sleeves with built in wraps. They have gotten less compressive over time and don't want to stay strapped down so I'll be going with wraps more.

Great session. Beat some sets. Absolutely destroyed myself on the widow maker hack set. Almost puked but it passed laying on the floor.

Need to re work the hip extensions. I'm not feeling them in the Glute as much anymore so I need to pull back the load and work my position a bit.

Push day.

My legs are absolutely fucked today. Haven't been this sore in a very long time. I forgot my intra yesterday which is part of the issue. Either way, between the week off, no intra, not perfect diet on vacation, caloric defecit and, just crushing the fuck out of myself, I'm paying for it today lol.

Push went well. A guy and his wife sat on the damn decline today from the time I was ready to start the movement to the time I left so, I just pulled it out and did extra delts and triceps.

Felt strong and the shoulder is relatively good. Getting the dumbbells up from my knees into position on Incline wasn't really Stable and some of those reps were fucked which cost me some reps but, still better then last rotation.

Weight is still up 4 lbs or so but it'll come down during the week.

Hunger is through the roof! This is absolutely the most hungry I've been this early in a prep without question. Slamming tons of water during the day to cope until it stops.

Rest day.

Pulled 12 hours at work (6pm-6am) then slept till about 11 today. Got up and drove 2 hours to get my daughter from her grandparents and got stuck in traffic on the way back so 3 hours back.

Quickly mowed the yard (45 minutes) and did my laundry while I was doing that. Shower and back to work tonight by 6.

Got to see all the kids today, the 2 oldest work so it's hit and miss on when they're gone, and got a new pair of Metcon 7's from the wife. They're amazing and my old metcons were broken down pretty bad.

Tomorrow is pull day and then I'll either rest the day after if my legs aren't recovered or, put in a pump day for arms since I haven't trained them much since coming back.

Hopefully I'll be able to get a nap in at work tonight on lunch cause that drive kicked my ass. Nothing a little caffeine can't handle though.

Hope all you guys had a great Father's day!

Pull today. Strong af.

Really good session. I didn't wait for the cybex row and opted to skip it today. Everything else had my lats cramping up so it would have been too much. Not much in terms of intensifiers just brutal straight sets to failure.

Gonna get things rolling a little harder on the dieting side. 4 30 minute cardio sessions a week minimum. On non training days and other days when I have time besides post legs. Carbs have been cut back a bit again.

Protein is still high, around 4-450g every day but carbs were cut back to 350 on training days and 250 on non training days. Fats are still trace from sauces which I'll pull soon.

Leg day.

Took the hint from my previous leg session and pulled a little volume. Didn't do hacks but crushed the rest of the shit.

Legs already feel like jello so tomorrow will be interesting.

Fuuuuuck.

No training today but got called by the wife at work with a flooding living room last night. Upstairs toilet overflowed in the middle of the night and water was fucking everywhere. Flooded the bathroom, ran down into the floor into the ceiling of the living room, down into the walls, flooded the floor in the living room. A complete fuck sack.

Trying to find a contractor to give us a quote.
